What is the testes feminization?
Testicular feminization, also known as the insensitivity of androgens, is a rare condition caused by a genetic defect in the testosterone receptor. Patients with syndrome are genetically men who have X and Y chromosomes, but they seem to be women. Feminization of the testicles has a number of presentations and a number of treatment options are available for the affected patients. On the basis of his proposed mechanism for this disease, which assumed that the testicles excluded the hormone, which resulted in feminization of male bodies. Further research refuted his theory. However, the term testicular feminization persists as a common name officially known as the insensitivity of androgens. Disabled patients have a genetic defect in the body of arrogen receptors. In some respects, this condition can be understood by the proverb "water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink." A lot of testosterone circulates in the blood because the patient has a functional testicle. However, the body does not respond to this testosterone because it cannot detect it.
Since the growing body does not feel circulating testosterone, it falls into the starting external developmental pattern: becoming a woman. Disabled people develop breasts, patterns of fat distribution, blind vaginal case and clitoris. The presence of Y chromosome ensures that they also develop and do not develop ovaries or uterus. Some experts describe the resulting patients such as pseudohermaphrodite because they have some male and some female sexual characteristics, but they do not have both testicles and ovaries, as it would be real hermaphrodite.
Testicular feminization CAN has a number of clinical presentations. The complete form of the syndrome results in a normally that occurs, which may not be considered abnormal until it can obtain its period. There are also other less complete forms of syndrome. For example, some children born with ambiguous genitals may have an incomplete form of a state in which partial reaction to testosterone inde to develop incomplete male external genitalia.
Treatment of testicles may be controversial. In patients with partial sensitivity to testosterone, some doctors recommend administration of testosterone as treatment. Increased testosterone could help the patient develop into a man with normal.
People with complete testicular feminization often live as a woman. In these patients, it is important to remove the testicles to reduce the risk of testicles. It also often benefits from optional operations to prolong and expand the vagina, that is toadline for sexual intercourse.
